We stumbled upon an awesome time-lapse video of a site construction that we wanted to share with you. Great dispenser choice might we add!
Building a new site is a major undertaking. Back in April, Richard Browne with Business Development Consulting LLC, wrote a great article about future-proofing your new site that bears repeating. Below are the main take-aways – if you want to read the whole article click here.
- Add some tables and Wi-Fi to capture the estimated 50% of the workforce that will be deofficed in 2020.
- Install EMV-ready POS and gas pump CRIND now to minimize your upgrade costs, minimize your liability and protect your brand.
- Ensure your POS and pumps are upgradable for mobile wallet technology, which will begin being broadly deployed later this year.
- Install dispensers with color screens to enhance the customer experience with your brand
- Spend a few hundred dollars on surge-protected CAT 5e ethernet cabling now will prevent having to dig up your forecourt later. Using self-configuring virtual private networks (VPNs) and intelligent routers will speed startup and simplify PCI compliance.
- Make sure your site will be able to handle alternative fuels and the increasing demand for electrical charging stations. Maximize your flexibility by using divided tanks and maintaining piping options and specify spare conduit, isolated circuits and plenty of outlets during construction.
- Equip your station to be able to handle dynamic pricing
- Understand the capabilities of your ATG tank gauge and back office in detecting and alarming for unexplained fuel variance.
- Use accredited technicians and paying them promptly will help ensure that when you have a problem, they will be there for you.
